World Wildlife Fund Internship

About World Wildlife Fund

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began in 1961 when a small but
powerful group of European scientists, naturalists, business heads
and political leaders banded together in response to a growing need
for global conservation. Since then, WWF has evolved to include
over one million members worldwide and has helped environmental and
conservation efforts in over 13,100 projects across 157 countries.
Some of its ongoing issues include climate change, toxic chemicals
in the environment and endangered species preservation.

WWF accepts interns into many departments, including
environmental education, global forest and trade, and its annual
fund drive. Responsibilities and qualifications vary with each
position, but may include scientific research, writing/editing,
developing curricula, database and/or website maintenance,
compiling information sheets and background detail and handling
administrative tasks. Many interns are assigned to specific
projects and work closely with WWF staff, and all participants
attend weekly brown bag lectures and have contact with top
scientists.
